Alright...

Who's into this lifestyle?

I think about this every day... settle down somewhere, or be a world nomad? Big dilemma... We are lucky to be able to work from anywhere, that's a MAJOR advantage, but...

I'm afraid if I start the world nomad lifestyle, I might like it too much and never settle down, never get married, never have kids etc... I met couple guys like that when I traveled...

Share your experiences! :rasta:

If you love traveling, If you have 0 obligations then fucking do it. I have only been to 11 countries until I had my son. Now I still want to travel but i'd rather be with my son. Things change once you start having kids. My son is only 4 months old and I was in Bahrain and UAE in march. I will take 2-3 week trips every once in a while. But my plans before having him were to stay in places 3-6 months at a time. I'm 21 btw so if your young go live somewhere else because time flys and your going to regret not doing it.

Don't even worry about having kids or settle down. Because you will have plenty of time to do so. Go around the world fucking as many broads as possible. Prior to going to the middle east I took a month backpacking around europe and a month in south africa while working and I made plenty of money to cover my expenses. I also plan on going backpacking india for 2-3 weeks next summer.

So if I were you I would probably be buying a ticket to Costa Rica right now.
 
Why would you be scared of enjoying yourself too much? If you decide that marriage isn't for you, that's because single life makes you happy.

You could call me a nomad. I've lived in Japan for 8 years, but travel a lot around Asia. I may never get married. But I love every day of my life based on my own standards. I'm not going to give up the lifestyle I love just because other people thinks it's too exciting for my own good. Most people are simply scared to live an adventurous life because it means stepping out of their comfort zone. That's fine if they want to do the conventional thing, but I don't give into their pressure to make my life less interesting.
 
What I mean is that I met a lot of guys who started this lifestyle and never came out of it! Especially in Asia actually. I've met couple American and Canadian guys in their 50ties, partying like 20, no wife no kids and they visit their families like once every 5 years... not sure I wanna end up like that.
 
Been doing this for a while since I started IM, spent a year in like 15 countries in Europe when I was younger, then I also worked as a IM consultant in London and Senegal (I'm from Canada), been living in Budapest for a few months then moved around the Balkan coast for 6 months this year and I don't talk about the multiple small trips I did meanwhile.

If you can do it, meaning that you don't have 1000 responsibilities at home, you should definitely do it. I learned so much while traveling, met amazing people from all around the world; every days spent in a different cultural environment will definitely bring you a lot, a whole lot.

Talk about ROI.

^^ That! Anata no nihongo gotta be pretty ii desu right about now...

Lots of flatness in the ass pic btw -1, but +1 for the thread, that's my plan for next year actually
 
i thought seriously about this. i'm 21, i could take classes online, and work online. ship my bags from one hostel to the next, and just travel anywhere i wanted.

i'm not worried about getting caught up in the lifestyle, after i get my degree, and have international experiences/references (i plan on interning at every information security firm i can, martial arts, basically anywhere where i can learn soemthing for free in barter for services/money). I can apply to federal agencies, firms, wherever i wanted.

only thing i thought about, if i get caught in another country, i'm going to be in some shit. I probably wont have papers, because i probably wont have a visa.

I know that's what you mean but it still doesn't make any sense if you think about it. What's wrong with them never coming out of it? If they love their lives how they are, why should they make their lives more boring?

The only reason would be to be like everyone else. And to me that's not a valid reason. I'll only get married and/or go back to my country if I think it will be more amazing than what I'm doing now.

Yep, my Japanese is pretty good. See, that's another thing right there. Whenever I go back to visit my country, 95% of the people I meet hear that I speak Japanese, and they can barely even process the information. Their faces go blank, like I've just told them I fuck crocodiles or something. It's the same look you get when you told people you make a living from the internet, people are like "Whoa, this shit is shaking my reality too much so I'm not going to accept it as valid." I just decided at some point that I'm not going to ever narrow my horizons to fit in with anyone else's view of the world.

I'm all for people chilling out and being conventional if that's what makes them happy. I'm just saying that being happy is more important to me than being conventional.

Nomading gets exhausting, but it will change your life in many ways. I'm up to 45 countries in 4 years, and now im finally starting to slow down.

Seeing the world from multiple angles will really make you appreciate the simple things in life more.

Don't worry about liking it too much, never getting married, or never settling down. You end up in the same spot a lot wiser and will make better decisions based on your experience.

DO IT

This attitude is what I think allows you to continually make monies online. Good for you.

One of the main things that changes when you travel, apart from the ever-changing scenery, is your social life is accelerated.

When I first set out, I was on average probably meeting 10 new people a day, whether it was people in buses, trains, hostels, hotels, bars etc. I've met all kinds of people that I would not have normally met. Billionaires, poor people, sex addicts, drug addicts, fucking idiots, royalty and some of the coolest people I've ever met. Everybody has a story, and I have heard a lot stories... It's this plus a combination of seeing how people live in different countries that made me appreciate different cultures and the world we live in a lot more.
 
Traveling for 3+ years was the best thing I ever did for myself. I tend to go places, get a job I like and then chill there for a bit. Living in a place for an extended time is different than just passing through.

I actually came back to my country a few months ago and the reverse culture shock is too much, so I'm plotting my next plan to GTFO.

Doitdoitdoitdoit. You need less money than you think

I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't give a shit about seeing the world. No idea why I feel this way, just do.

I have friends like this too. It's no big deal, and traveling isn't for everyone.

But for people who have it in the back of their minds, they should just do it...
